Wow! The last 3 rounds to go and Hikaru Nakamura is tied for the lead with World Champion Vishy Anand. This is awesome. Great chess, great drama. Nakamura-Kramnik on Saturday morning (7:30am start) I hope you are following. The host site has been top notch this year, too. http://www.tatasteelchess.com/ .
Now to squeeze my last favorite "lost tapes" from last year, here is a two part clip of players from the B section who played a crazy game. Plus the moves. Check it out!
Black sacs 4 pawns and then the exchange for a nasty attack .... and the game ends in a draw!! Negi and Harikrishna played the game, Akobian and Nisipeanu are kibitzing and all are trying to find a winning line for either side. Peter Leko watches too, then leaves ...an hour later he is back in part (b) and finally calls it a night. As he leaves he laughs at the others and says something like "you know the press will say this was a 'nice grandy draw' between the two Indian players..."
